West Highland Railway

Embark on the magnificent West Highland Line skirting by Loch
Lomond and through the dramatic scenery of the Highlands, on a
route widely considered one of the all-time most beautiful railway
journeys. The train continues across the isolated moors at Rannoch,
through an area only accessible by rail. Pass under the gaze of
mighty Ben Nevis before arriving on the spectacular west coast, for
a three night stay at the Morar Hotel.

Jacobite Steam Train

Hailed as one of the great railway journeys of the world, the
Jacobite Steam Train** travels between Fort William and Mallaig,
passing lochs, rivers, mountains, silvery beaches and beautiful
villages along the way. See first hand the iconic Glenfinnan
Viaduct, the longest of its kind in Scotland at 380 metres in
length. Later there is time to explore the Station Museum,
dedicated to the history of this line, which also serves as a
popular Hollywood filming location.

**Due to the Jacobite Steam Train timetable, the itinerary of
this day depends on your departure date. Departures before mid May
will likely be by coach and diesel train. Certain departures where
the afternoon Jacobite Steam Service isn't running will travel by
Jacobite Steam from Glenfinnan to Fort William

Isle of Skye

The incredible Isle of Skye is a short ferry crossing away this
morning. On arrival, enjoy a panoramic coach tour taking in the
jagged peaks of the Cuillin Hills, the wild moors, sheer sea cliffs
and tranquil lochs that have made Skye famous. You travel all the
way to the north west corner of Skye to visit Dunvegan Castle &
Gardens.

West Highland Railway

Travel back along the West Highland Line to Glasgow, enjoying
the wild, unspoilt areas of natural beauty. This evening you enjoy
a farewell dinner with the group in a local restaurant. After
breakfast on Day 6, you are free to depart at your
leisure.

Mrs C Lee

It was a lovely break before winter set in.

Ms . Davison

Excellent tour, overnight stay in Glasgow very enjoyable, train journey from Glasgow to Morar was spectacular. Trips to Isle of Skye and steam train journey to Fort William wonderful.

Mrs J Deeks

Very well organised trip but a bit disappointed with the quality of the evening meals

It was an excellent way to see the West Highland area.

Mr P Jenkins

This was my 1st trip to Scotland,

Mr B Ferguson

Despite poor weather, the tour was fine....hotels were broadly ok....

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and it was well managed.We rarely rate anything at 5 star otherwise there is a risk that complacency could creep in.

Mrs M Croker

The tour guide made the trip run smoothly ,any issues he delt with swiftly. The service in both hotels was good,and the food was good.I did think that only one trip on the steam train was poor for a train hoilday,and the stop in malaga was overly long as there was nothing to do theree.
